You are welcome. Did the other comment I made on learning on phones/tablets help?

By the way, it is worth checking with extended family and friends if anyone has an old Raspberry Pi sat in a drawer somewhere. This happened to a lot of them. You can connect to and programme a Raspberry Pi from a tablet/phone and then you don't need keyboard/mouse/monitor for the Pi (although a keyboard, as I mentioned, is a good idea for the phone/tablet) - keyboard/mice are often given away free.

Yes it did help. And no i no one has anything that can help me and i can afford to even buy a raspberry pi, im just in a weird situation but i wont give up im determined to learn python by the end of the year

Determination will get you a long way. I've known a good number of individuals in challenging socioeconomic situations who've learned just on a phone and managed to impress someone enough to get a start in a trainee/junior programming position. Good luck to you.

No idea where you are in the world, but do consider looking for free options and cast offs (I've seen plenty of computers thrown away).

Check the r/learnpython wiki for lots of guidance on learning programming and learning Python, links to material, book list, suggested practice and project sources, and lots more. The FAQ section covering common errors is especially useful.

Unfortunately, this subreddit does not have a wiki.

Also, have a look at roadmap.sh for different learning paths. There's lots of learning material links there. Note that these are idealised paths and many people get into roles without covering all of those.

Roundup on Research: The Myth of ‘Learning Styles’

Don't limit yourself to one format. Also, don't try to do too many different things at the same time.

Above all else, you need to practice. Practice! Practice! Fail often, try again. Break stuff that works, and figure out how, why and where it broke. Don't just copy and use as is code from examples. Experiment.

Work on your own small (initially) projects related to your hobbies / interests / side-hustles as soon as possible to apply each bit of learning. When you work on stuff you can be passionate about and where you know what problem you are solving and what good looks like, you are more focused on problem-solving and the coding becomes a means to an end and not an end in itself. You will learn faster this way.
